- 3
Pour the soy sauce and Liquid Gold over them.
- 4
Snip the fresh sage and thyme directly over the chicken, then add the finely chopped ginger.
- 5
Squeeze the juice of half a Yellow Friend over it and mix everything well so the chicken is evenly coated.
- 6
Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. (This marinating time is passive and falls outside the preparation time below.)
